Taleem al Quran 2012 – P26 263B Al-Fath Introduction

Surah total fat,

salt and fat

is a Madani surah the surah before it sorted Mohammed, remember that it was revealed before the Battle of butter. So it was revealed very early in the medina era. Soon after sort of Muhammad was the Battle of better than there was the Battle of Ohio. And then there was a battle of the hands.

And in all of these three major battles that were fought, the enemy advanced towards the Muslims in which the king of maca came to the Muslims in order to fight them. And at the end of a zap, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that now they will not come to us, rather we will go to them, they will not be able to come to us now, we will go towards them.

I want you to think of this,

that look at how the Muslims were at the beginning of the Medina and era. Few in Numbers, week in terms of resources, right, genuinely afraid of the enemy. And Allah subhanaw taala revealed sudut Muhammad and other sutras, guiding them through this journey, granting them victory over their enemy, one battle after another. Now what happened in the six year after hijra, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had a dream. And what was that dream? And he and his companions, entered Makkah in safety, performed the tawaf and some people trimmed their hair and others shaved their heads. And this was a very beautiful dream. Imagine dreaming about going for ombre. I mean, it's a

beautiful dream. The dreams of the prophets are revelation. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam understood this as an indication that he should go with his companions to perform the remodel. And why wouldn't he? It had been six years since he had left MCE, six years, he had not seen the Kaaba.

And imagine how painful that must have been for the Prophet sallallahu wasallam for a person who was born and raised in Makkah, who lived in Makkah, for a person who loved the Kaaba, imagine he had not seen the Kaaba for six years. So it was only natural that he wanted to go and now after this dream, he took this as an indication that he and his companions had to go for Umrah.

You know, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, That is some dear Omen handle bait. Make use of this house which house, the house of Allah, make use of it, take advantage of it, meaning go and visit it. Go and do it. Go and do Hajj, go and do tawaf. Go and worship Allah over there. It's dumb. Tiru take advantage of it. What are you waiting for? Don't delay.

He said, for inner who God Who? The Mandala tiny. It will be demolished two times.

Two times it will be demolished. And while you will Pharaoh fifth that artha and the third time Allah will lift it up, meaning it's not staying forever. You will not always have this opportunity. So don't delay going to the house of Allah.

So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he intended to go for Umrah, the word spread. You can imagine all the people who had migrated from Makkah, the Sahaba, who were the MaHA Joon, you can imagine their eagerness to go and perform Umrah. So the Sahaba prepared for Umrah in excitement as well as fear. There was hope and there was also fear, excitement, natural, but fear. Why fear because they were going to Makkah and who was in Makkah, their enemies, people who had been coming again and again to kill them to fight them.

And while many companions did prepare to go for Umrah, there were some people who were afraid, so afraid that they didn't even intend to go for umbra.

Instead, they just excused themselves and they stayed behind because they thought the Muslims are going to Mecca. This is crazy. This is ridiculous. You're going in the mouth of the lion. This is like killing yourselves. So they didn't think it was intelligent to go to Makkah. And so they did not go along with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

So on the first of the Carta and remember the Ricardo is of the sacred month so the first day of the sacred months, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam left Medina for

or maca with 1400 companions

1400 And they took along with them animals for ritual slaughter. Even though on ermera You don't really have to take animals for ritual slaughter, you're supposed to take them for Hajj. But at this time they took them so that people would know. Everybody would know that the intention of the Muslims was to go and worship Allah at the house, not to wage war not to fight

Upon reaching the Khalifa, so a certain point, all right, when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam left Medina when he reached the Khalifa over there, the animals were garland it there were marked, so that people would know that this caravan is on its way to the house of Allah for worship, and the Haram was put on for umbra. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had brought 70 camels himself for the purpose of ritual slaughter. How many 70 Now as the mussels were making their way to Makkah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam received news that an armed group was nearby that the McCanns had heard, and a group of them had come together, equipped with weapons. And when the

Prophet salallahu Salam learned about it, he sent some Sahaba All right, in order to find out and amongst them was Abu Qatada Al Ansari, Radi Allahu Anhu. Everybody had put on their home, except for Abu Qatada. Now, they went and investigated, basically, they didn't really find any armed group, but on their way back to join the Muslims. They found some zebras. All right, and now that's good meat. It's hot out.

And but to catch a zebra, you'd have to hunt it. But remember that in Iran, you're not supposed to hunt, right? You're not supposed to hunt in Iran. I will Qatada was the only person who was not in Iran. So it's a very interesting story about how he wanted his companions to help them, but they wouldn't help him. They wouldn't even give him the arrows. They wouldn't do anything for him. So basically, he had to hunt a zebra all by himself, and he did it. Finally when he got it, they said we're not eating it. Now. Firstly, he hunted and now nobody else is eating it. Can you imagine his frustration? So he brought all the meat with him to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the

Muslims asked if Can we eat it? And the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Yes, of course you can, and share some with us do. All right, because you didn't hunt. All right. In Iran, you cannot hunt but you can eat the meat of an animal that was hunted by somebody else provided that they give it to you, not that you steal it from them. All right. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he sent his own spies to Makkah, all the way to Makkah to find out if the machete king of Morocco, were doing something, you know, to harm the Muslims. Now what happened? His spy met him at a certain point and he said that the Quraysh have collected a great number of people against you. The

Mushrikeen have collected a great number of people against you, including people from outside of Makkah, meaning it's not just the Moroccans, but the tribes that live outside of Morocco also, and they're ready to fight you and they're ready to stop you from entering the Kaaba. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he asked the companions that all people give your opinion, what should we do? Have a bucket of dilemma and who he said, or Allah's Messenger? You have come with the intention of visiting the house of Allah. Not with the intention to fight. So let's continue. Let's proceed. And if the machine want to fight us, then okay. If there is no option, then we'll have to fight them.

But our intention is to go for umbra. So let's continue. And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam liked that suggestion. And he said proceed. In the Name of Allah.

We learned that on this journey Salah to home was also performed remember the fear prayer? When is it that the fear prayers performed? When the threat is real? It's right there.

Now what happened that the main road that led into Makkah, right the main road, that led into Makkah, the typical route that the people would take to visit Makkah, that was blocked by Khalid bin Walid. Right at that time, he was not a Muslim. That road was blocked by Khalid bin Walid and his men. So basically, in order to avoid confrontation, what would the Muslims have to do enter Makkah, through some other way, find some other route, and that's what they did. But it was not an easy route. It was volcanic rock. All right, which meant that it would be extremely hot, not easy to walk on, so much so that their feet became sore, they bled, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

he said that this valley for you is like the door was for the Bani Israel eel.

Remember, on the Bani Israel were told to enter the city and the

said no we're not going. So two people, they said that we'll do Hulu or lay him will bed for either the hall to move over intercom hollobone Just enter the door once you enter, you will be victorious. This go at least. Alright, so the prophets Allah said I'm sad that this valley for you is like the door was for the Bani Israel just go through it once you've crossed this valley, you're victorious. And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam also said that no one shall pass through this valley except that all of his sins will be forgiven.

It took an entire day for the Muslims to cross this valley. And when they came out of it, they ended up on a plane, which is known as who they be. Yeah.

And by the time they reached their night was falling

harder than what he learned that the Muslims they never came this way. But they're right outside AKA, they found some other way. He went back to Makkah and he informed the Quraysh

now what happened? The Muslims when they reached her they via

they were intending to go straight into Makkah, remember that. But when they reached her they via the camel of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam just sat down and it refused to get up. People tried so hard to make it get up and they got so frustrated. They said, Asa has become stubborn pus What was the name of the camel of the Prophet sallallahu sallam? It's become stubborn it's become stubborn and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam didn't like people saying mean things to his camel. He said us Allah has not become stubborn for stubbornness is not in her habit. Look at how the Prophet salaallah Sinha was so protective, so loving.

He didn't like it. He said, she has not become stubborn. Because stubbornness is not her habit. She was stopped by the one who stopped the elephants. Remember the army of abre the elephants? They were trying to get into Mecca. And when they would get into Makkah what would happen destruction, battle, right bloodshed. So Allah prevented the elephants from entering Makkah. And here Allah is preventing this camel from entering Maga, because of this camel would go, this might result in bloodshed.

So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam knew that this is from Allah, or not able to enter Makkah, and he decided to stop at her Libya and set camp. And that's what they did. And he said, by the one in whose hand is my soul, if the Quraysh asked me anything which will respect the commands of Allah, I will grant it to them.

If they asked me anything that's appropriate. I will cooperate with them. I will I'm ready to cooperate. And then he told the camel to get up and the camel got up. When he made the intention to come to terms with them was tricky. Right? Allah subhanaw taala also open the way. So what happened the camel gotta the Prophet sallallahu Sallam reached the farthest end of her labia. And he descended over there, he said camp over there and all the Muslims 1400 of them dispersed to the plane of her labia. We learned that there was a small, well like thing, basically a source of water. And the people got there. And they started drinking water from there using water from there and very

quickly, the water finished and they complain to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam of thirst and the Prophet sallallahu sallam. He gave them an arrow and he said put it inside. And when they did, so much water came gushing out of there that everybody used that water for the entire duration that they were in her they be so this was a miracle that happened. Now add up who they be or what happened the Muslims are camped. And people in Mecca people outside of Makkah, especially they know that things are not good. 1400 people have come to visit the house of Allah and they have been prevented. And it's the Muslims. All right, and so far Muslims and the machine of maca every time

they've come together they've been fighting. Alright, so this pen Bodell Benoit aka el Jose he was a neutral third party a non Muslim neither pro Muslim nor pro makan. He came and He warned the prophets Allah is and they look the Moroccans are ready to fight you. You better be careful otherwise there will be bloodshed in this holy land. And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told him that we have not come to fight anybody we have come to perform Umrah so today he understood. So he went to Makkah to give the message to their leaders that the Muslims are not here to fight you. So they said to him, will never let him enter Morocco. They said we'll never let Muhammad salallahu Salam

enter Morocco. So what happened? This man Urawa even Masood, Azhar kofi, remember he's from thought If so, now Buddha in an outsider, now another outsider from five. He intervenes. And he said, oh people, aren't you the sons? They're like, Yes, you are elder. He said,

Am I not the father?

They're right. So he's doing it both ways. He's establishing his superiority over them. And they're like, yes. He said, Do you miss trust me? Don't you trust me? They're like, yes, we do. We trust you. And then he reminded them of his loyalties of the things that he had done in the past to help them. Basically, he was ensuring him that whatever he would do would be in their best interests. And he said, let me go and talk to Muhammad Sallallahu lucidum. So they said, Fine, go. So Urawa was the first mystery from the courage to speak to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to negotiate with the Muslims. So he came to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and started talking. And the Prophet sallallahu

Sallam told him the same thing that he told you today. We're not here to fight. We're not here to fight we have come to perform or Allah. Now or Ottawa, he started criticizing the Prophet sallallahu some that look at you, you have come with so many people, to find your own relatives, the prophets of Allah Islam is not here to fight them, you saying you have come to find your own blood relatives, these people who are with you 1400. These people, I don't see that they're very noble people, they're going to leave you because they're not your blood relatives. Now, when he said this, that these Muslims are not really loyal to you, they're gonna leave you because people who are actually

loyal to you are your blood relatives. All right, that was according to him. Abu Bakr al de la Mourinho got so angry, he said something very vulgar, right? He said, Go and suck the private part of this idol.

He was so upset. He used vulgarity over here, because sometimes vulgarity gets the point across a bucket on the lower end, who was not like that? He wouldn't use such language. But he used it to express extreme harshness towards or what that How dare you say something like this? A little while was shocked. He said, Who's this man? And they said, Oh, Bucha. And Earl was just quiet. Abu Bakar is saying this to me, I better zip my mouth. Right? Now what happened or why he continues to talk to the Prophet sallallahu sallam. And as he's talking to him, he reaches out for the beard of the Prophet. You know, he touches on something normal that people will do at that time. Not acceptable

today, but they will do it. All right, touch each other as beard that you know, we're cool. We're equals. As he's doing it. Somebody hits his arm.

He's like, what's going on? Who's this? And he finds out that it was Mozila Ibn shorba, his own nephew. He said, You. What are you doing over here because Molina have been shorba. Before accepting Islam, he actually fell into some really bad company. He was basically a highway robber, he was abandoned. Right, he would attack people, kill their men, take their wealth and run away. So basically, the tribal Filkins would be in a lot of trouble because of Molina I've been sure by especially Molina, it'll be longer and whose uncle erla. So what had happened was that at one point will lead I've been sure, but he had killed some people taking their money. And he basically he ran

away. And when he ran away, he knew that he couldn't go back home either, because he would be in trouble. So he couldn't go home. He couldn't go anywhere. He's like, You know what, let me go find out what these Muslims are. So he went, he liked Islam, he accepted in the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Look, I accept your Islam. But I don't accept these crimes that you've been committing this property that you brought, I don't accept it. So Ottawa, he was really angry. He said, Because of you, I've been suffering so much financial loss, we've been paying those people back, you know, blood money since such a long time because of you. Now what happened? Arua as he's talking, he

begins to look at the companions and the Companions they saw or what is observing us, and he just accused us of not being loyal to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, so you know what, we're going to show him how loyal we are. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, every time he would order the Sahaba, to do something, they would go and do it immediately. When he performed will do, they would find each other to collect the water of his will do and as they would collect it, they would wash themselves with it. And when the Prophet Salas and would speak to them, that they would lower their heads, they would basically listen to him so much respect. And everyone was amazed that this is how

much these people love the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So basically, he went back and when he went back, he said, Look, guys, I've seen many kings. I've been to many courts, but I've never seen a king, a leader like Muhammad salallahu Salam, and I've never seen people like his companions. The relationship that's between them is unmatched. And he said, they have come to perform Umrah let them do.

All right. They have not come to fight you let them in and wish to Kena of Makkah, they said, we thought better of you. Meaning, what are you saying? We're not accepting this? So what happened? Ottawa, that also, you know, his negotiation didn't really get in

You were

now another man, he tried a man by the name of who lays Ben Aloma.

All right. He was from the tribe of Banu Kwinana, an outsider again, not from Makkah. He said, Let me go to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

They said, Okay, fine, go

as he's approaching the Muslim camp at her labia and the Prophet salallahu Salam sees him coming. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam told his companions that this man, he has a lot of respect for sacrificial animals. He really likes the idea of people bringing sacrificial animals. So get all your animals together all the sacrificial animals and make them march back and forth.

All right, so the Sahaba that's what they did. All the animals that got them together, made them go from one place to the other. All right, and the Sahaba are saying delvia, to show that really, we're in the Umrah mode, all right. And who lays as he's walking, when he sees this, he doesn't even go to the Prophet Salas. He turns around right there goes to the machine. And he says, You know what, these people have come to perform Umrah let them in, let them in. And the thing is that he had seen all those animals. And the thing with animals is that in the desert, as each day goes by, you know what happens to the animals, their fat reduces? Right? They lose weight. And as they lose weight,

what goes down the meat quantity? And the quality as well. Right? So he was like, let them in so that they can slaughter these animals quickly so that the poor and the needy can be fed right away. What are you doing? And the machine again? They ridiculed him, they said You What are you? You're just one of the outsiders, you're from Vannucchi Nana, you have no worth because he was from the hobby ish. If Europeans Is that all you have no worth in front of us anyway. So you know what, we're not going to listen to you. So now what happened? So give of thought if they've told the people of Makkah, we're not going to help you? Right, or what? He tried to convince them to let the Muslims

in. They didn't listen. So Urawa, even Masaru the third coffee he has basically said I'm not with you anymore. The Moroccans have lost the help of the people of five. Now they've also lost the help of the tribes outside Makkah.

Do you notice something here? Different people from different tribes are coming in? To sort the problem out? Why? Because this was the first time ever people had been prevented from entering Makkah. First time ever. This was something not acceptable. Morally was not correct. religiously. It was not correct.

Now what happened? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he decided to send someone to go and speak to the machete king.

And he chose aroma. Radi Allahu Anhu

or Manuel de la noir and why did he choose him because of his strength? Because of his bravery. Right? Because of his lineage. But one of the law on who he said you had a school of law. My animosity to the coalition is well known. Right? They know that I'm I'm really not in their good books. I am really not in their good books. And I fear that the moment they see me they're gonna kill me.

If you want me to go I'll go. However, I think it will be better if Earth man, even our fan or below on who goes, Why? Because he has more nobility in their eyes, or a smile on the door and who he was a very shy person, right? Even the prophets, Allah Lawson was shy from him. So you can imagine someone of that character. You know, people love him, they wouldn't hurt him.

And besides a smile, a little worn who he was from the clan of Benoit chumps, all right. And basically he was very close to Abu Sufyan in relationship he was very close to Oba Sophia and Sophia was now the main leader of Makkah.

So Abu Sufyan was obligated to protect Earth Mandevilla horn so this is why he suggested to respond a little on what and the prophets Allah didn't like the idea and Earth man little deal the horn who went to Makkah, as he's entering mcha, the machine saw him they got so angry, and they started cursing him and abusing him and responded the Lord who knew that it wasn't safe for him. So basically, he turned around in order to leave

but at this one of his cousin's a band been our fan saw. And he got that protective jealousy. He's like, my cousin is not being allowed to enter mechanic Come on, and I've been six years I'm sure he missed his cousin. Alright. And he's uh, my cousin is not being allowed to enter Makkah. He went to a commando blow on who gave him his horse and he said, enter Makkah in my protection

service Manuel de Lauren, who was taken into Makkah,

and he was taken to Abu Sufian

And the other leaders. And as Earth's manual, the lone one who is speaking to them, they say No way. They just wouldn't budge the one, let the Muslims enter MCCA at all. It was like non negotiable.

Or it's mine on the lower end, when when he realized is not going anywhere. He went to see some Muslims who still lived in Makkah, who were being oppressed, who were being abused. And he gave them the message of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah is aware of their situation, and he will make a way out for them soon. Now, this whole trip, it took quite some time.

You can imagine what's happening amongst the Muslims, they're afraid for us Manuel de Lauren, whose life correct. And it had been such a long time that technically he should have been back. And now that he wasn't back there expecting the worse. If he was alive, he should have been back by now. Now, if he was alive, he should really have been back by now. So when a long time passed, they thought of the worst. And they thought, This man has been killed. They didn't know it, for sure. They assumed it because of the fact that such a long time had passed, and they had heard nothing.

So what happened? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, he called the Muslims, for a pledge for a commitment for a promise, that look if they have killed our men. If they have killed our misery, then that means war. We didn't come to fight. We didn't bring our weapons, we didn't bring our shields. We didn't come prepared for a battle. But what if we have to enter a battle with our enemy? Because they've killed our misery? What if we have to, then what are you going to do? Give your pledge that you will fight until your last breath and you will not run away? The prophets, Allah Azza was under a tree at that time, that the shedule and what happened? The Sahaba, one after the

other, they kept coming to the Prophet sallallahu. And and they took the bear, they took the pledge that we will fight in defense of our religion, if they've killed our men. We're not accepting this, we're not accepting this weakness. And even though we didn't come prepared for battle, and we're exhausted from the journey, especially the journey of you know, through that volcanic rock, right, still, we will fight the enemy.

They took this pledge, 1400 of them, and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam took his hand. And he put it and he said, This is on behalf of Earth man, that even though this man is not here, if he was here, he would have given the same pledge. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam took the pledge on behalf of Earth Manuel de la hora. Now what happened, then was to Kenan Maka found out they heard news that the Muslims are ready to fight us. They panicked, because they had fought the Muslims multiple times before and they didn't really have any great luck over there. Right. So now all the Muslims are camped right outside Makkah. Right? The most seeking they panicked when they found out that the

Muslims are ready to fight them. So what happened? They got Earthman over Lauren, who back to her they be immediately. Now as Earth minded Lauren, who comes to her day via the Muslims, as I see him, they approach him. They're happy to see him. But at the same time, they're wondering, did he perform Umrah already?

He better not have done it without us. Right? And so they're happy to see him alive and safe. And they're expecting some good news. But at the same time, they're a little upset inside What took you so long? What were you doing? Right? Did you do it all by yourself? Right? So as a reminder, a little man who came, some people asked him, Have you satisfied yourself with the Karva?

So did you have fun? What did you do? And I responded to Lauren who said, what an evil thought you had about me? Would I do tawaf while the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is here? Well, Allah He, if I stayed in Makkah for one year, I would not do it until the Prophet sallallahu Sallam did it before me.

So it was mine on the lower end, when he came back, basically, there was no agreement, right? All those conversations didn't lead to anything. But because the muscles are ready to fight now the machine were you know, pressed, they had to do something quickly. They wanted to avoid the battle. So they sent a man by the name of Mikulas right in their rush descent Mikulas without thinking through, they just sent him they said just go and talk to Mohamed Salah to talk him out of you know, battle. So when because came the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, as he was approaching, he's a vicious man. It's not going to be easy to deal with. So mikro started talking and as he's talking,

the machine must have realized it wasn't a good idea to send me cars, because he's not really a gentle soul.

And he wouldn't really give the Muslims a good option. And this might just end up in a battle. So they wanted a good negotiator. So they sent Sohail bin Ahmed

All right, so he'll be number they sent him and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam as he saw so he'll approaching he said, there will be Sahel because Sohail is coming. Hopefully there will be Sahel, he thought positively. Now, the matter has become easy, he said,
